I think Anomaly adds a good set of frameworks to the base game, as well as continuing to increase encounter and event variety. Enabling the monolith just for encounters is a totally valid low effort approach, matching how I typically handle the Empire where I get 1 psycast link and free rank, get honor if I want to or let them come and go as a random neighboring colony. Anomaly may not hit as hard as Biotech but it's a great addition. The mod scene is gonna do some wild things with Anomaly and the containment system, I can't wait to see the VE guys get cracking. A trio of giant snakes that can "lunge whole body lengths, devour humanoids whole and regurgitate the skeleton in seconds" attacked. Psycast Burden proved incredible here with their 200% innate sensitivity, no one shots witnessed. They're super thicc so they all downed unconscious and I got one! Glad I overdid the cell protections, just enough to contain it, study it and harvest bioferrite from it. This feels very cool.  My Dark Studies have shifted to getting chronophagy as soon as possible because my best architect aged and got a bad back. Now I can fix it without uhm, being a big cheap dev mode weenie about it.

Chronophagy sounds great to me considering I was complaining a while back about how many times I had to pod my seniors to stop getting bad backa. Still use the pods for age maintainable but the onboarding process will be a lot quicker

I chronophaged a prisoner into the ripe old age of 130 before his brain gave out Now my colony is full of hot singles in their 20s

Just curious what would happen if you shoved one or other into a crypto sleep or took them off the map?

Ok, so apparently psychically deaf pawns can straight up just see invisible enemies? Good reason to keep an Yttakin around, I guess. Edit: Or a ghoul, of course Broken Cog fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Apr 17, 2024 |

Somedays I think the prostrat is having your pawns be psychically deaf. Immunity to a lot of psycasts (are hostile psycasters even a thing in vanilla?), immunity to psychic drones. Sure they can't benefit from soothes but after a point those just stop appearing and all you get are drones.

I'm actually glad to see some straight up advantage to psychic deafness because it's been going very heavily the other way for quite a while now.

Not sure what you mean by soothes not appearing past a certain point, I've gotten soothes on 7 year old 3 million wealth colonies.

Conversely, as someone without Royalty, I'm glad to finally see a disadvantage to Psychic Deafness instead of it just being a free two points in a custom xenogerm - the penalty to void rituals

I decided to try my hand at fixing up an abandoned mod that I really liked (and it looks like I'm the 4th in a line of code janitors for this thing breaking between versions) so if anyone cares here is realistic planets for 1.5 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3225521979 It can help you play out your own legally distinct dune, it can group faction bases together real nation-state-like, and it's very vanilla and not too crazy with biomes

if you mean "add to a colony already running" I wouldn't really recommend that, a whole bunch of poo poo will get added to things like storage categories and recipe lists and it's pretty wonky.

I know well enough to not add mods after starting a run. What is the mod people use for forcing certain xenotypes to certain factions?

The greatest strength of Anomaly is definitely the causal love and embrace of new crimes. War crimes, crimes against humanity, crimes against existence itself...

Everyone embracing the Age reversal ritual reminded me of the Meat Canyon Pickleball episode. But replace pickleball with The Cube i guess https://youtu.be/rkMJCVjNtoM?si=MNTrtld78WGOU-9J

Am I gonna regret it later if I spam this alchemy guys' ability on CD, because drat, he's making me a lot of gold. Edit: Oh, his organs are rotting. RIP Edit2: Had to take apart a prisoner (cultist that tried to kidnap my colonists, so gently caress 'em), but managed to replace his heart and a kidney.
